Failure is not an excuse. Failure some times can be written among the stages that one must pass through in life and the fact that you keep failing does not make you a failure. Checking the history of many so called successful people in the world of today you would find out that all of them has a story to tell about failure. **Is a failure a bridge to success.** I would say failure is sometimes a bridge to success of only you work on your self , when you fail you have check all what you are lacking or what you failed to do that made you failed. Failure can as also be what cracks a bridge to success, you might be intelligent but when you don't work on your intelligence then you end up failing. **What are you lackings and why do you need to work on them!!!!** You need to meet Mr Ben Carson a failure that later became the first neuro-surgeon to separate a Swiss twins. He used to spend time playing games and even played rough plays and he never spent time working on him self. He failed a couple of time and repeated the same class thrice, on a fateful his mother stopped him from playing games and told he was a unless boy and that he must find something to do by reading aleast a book a day and he thought about all the shame he faced in class and said I keep failing because I never worked on them and I spend my time on useless things instead of my books. Conclusion Sit down and check all where you are lacking , don't forget that you not a failure and you keep failing because you are not working on your self. If you are a student spend time reading a least one book a day or if you are a worker you can practice every thing you have done at home then you can find a ever lasting situation to failure. Those who prepare well never failure. Thanks for reading📕📕📕📕📕📕.

Christian professor. The Church of Christ was established to draw all men unto god. She is Mt to glorify God and be of benefit to man. Today there are churches that has seemingly flourishing numerically with hundreds of thousands of those who profess Christianity. It is not enough to confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord your life must be a fruitful one.Today, Jesus is hungry. He looks forward to finding fruits on you to satisfy his hunger. The book of Isaiah says he shall see the travel of the soul and shall be satisfied. It is not our membership of the particular denomination that gives Jesus satisfaction. It is not the generous and heavy donations will put into church offering box that gives Jesus joy. He looks for more than dad James 2:18. The splendid temple with its glittering gold was described by Jesus as den of robbers. The church that flourishes financially is what some ministers look for but our riches without the fruit of the spirit is worse than mystery before the Lord.Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them Matthew chapter 7 verse 19 - 20.God cares absolutely nothing for our professions of piety. Without the fruit of repentance shown indeed and useful service it is an abomination. To God just as leaves cannot take the place of fruits so religion and its external shows will never replace genuine conversion and production of the fruit of the spirit. Outward profession of religion will not atone for the absence of holiness of heart and life.As we draw close to each of the Christian festival the religious leaves of many professing Christians will once again be displayed in the church. They will attend the church once more to mark the Day Jesus was born. Those who never read their bibles from January maybe giving the only listen to read in their in their church or cathedral on that day. That recognition given to you by your priest does not mean that you are a candidate of heaven.I am challenging Pastors, Reverends, Military men, Police, Custom officials, Civil servants, Business men and women, Students, young and old, high and low who only go to church and are held in honour, probably for the official rank or supposed piety to bear no fruits of holiness. The Lord’s searching eye is fixed upon you. He comes searching for fruit and if he finds none then be sure that you will wither away in hell-fire. Remember the Lord words, by their fruits you shall know them it is not by their leaves of profession but by your fruit of repentance. Repent therefore and believe the Gospel.

The insight of the eagle. The eagle is a bird that is well known for it ability to sight it prey from a really far distance and also it ability to sow really higher than other birds. The eagle is the king of birds so other birds are subjects to it. Be an insightful leader. Comparing the eagle to a leader is actually weird,cause a leader without insight would surely leader his/her follow to the wrong direction. Leaders are expected to work really hard in order to show their children the way just as the eagle feeds it prey to it children. Don't give up at the turning point. Reading this captivating quote " don't give up when you are at the turning point, stay strong". Motivates me to keep going and I know it works for many other people who can adhere to the key paths to success. We tend to face challenges at our turn point but we don't know that the challenges we face is just a stepping stone to success, challenges should not stop us. Relating the life if eagle to a hard-working man. The eagle hunts day by day and make sure it get some meats stuck in it beak and no matter how the sun beats it, it continues to hunt and comparing that to the issue a hard-working man face inorder to survive. A hard-working man would spend his time doing something really meaningful and not playing. Risk pleasure to get success. To be successful and famous in life one must risk somethings like lusts and pleasure. The eagle carries out a successful hunting because it is always focused and we'll mannered. Teach the younger ones the key to success. Looking at the eagle, the eagle carries it younger one when it is time to fly and this animal drops the child from far and the child learns how to fly from there and if it wings are not old enough then it takes the child back before it falls to death. Conclusion. Try checking out the behavior of any animal you can find near you and try to emulate the behavior of the animal and also relate the lifestyle of the animal to this your lifestyle.

A career wrecked my goodness ***Then Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison come on the place where the game’s prisoners were confirmed. And it was there in the prison Genesis 39:20.*** The Bible declares that the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God; my ways are not your ways says God and for one to be considered as wise indeed in God’s own estimation karma he must be god fearing command for it is written the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom Life seems to be just unfair. Hell’s how do we explain the paradox of getting rewarded with adversity for being virtuous? Plainly put the question, why does the righteous suffer? Remains one for which a satisfactory answer is yet to be found. ***It is commonly believed that an outright man should be blessed Psalms chapter 1 verses 1 - 3 .*** Hence, when the contrary happens then one is wants to ask questions as to the cause the story of Joseph is one of such cases. ***JOSEPH IN HIS FATHER’S HOUSE .*** Joseph was the 11th of Jacob’s 12 sons yet enjoy up unprecedented favour. He became the apple of his father’s eyes. This was not only because he was a son of Jacob’s old age and birthed by his favourite wife. Rachael, who was now late but also because of his good behaviour. Joseph distinguished himself as the reporter of his brother’s evil deeds. This is the story of Jacob. Joseph being 17 years old, who was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the Lord was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives, and Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father Genesis 37 verse 2 Joseph was unhappy with the evil deeds of his brothers come on which may include cruelty to order shepherds and host communities. He did not allow filial relationship to blind his eyes to the evil deeds of his brothers . He reported them to their father Jacob. Many of us today do not want to offend people, especially when they are close to us. We see our friends and relatives doing that which is evil and we only win at each forgotten that we are meant to be our brother’s keeper in that respect to and that someday we shall stand before the judgement seat of Christ to give an account of our stewardship concerning them. Like Joseph did, we must not shy away from reporting to our Father, God, what we know, sea or hear about orders. Joseph was a minority among those Brothers yet you refuse to join them in doing evil. Consequently, you run into trouble with them and was sold into slavery. For being good, Joseph got rewarded with hatred isolation and eventual selling off to the ishmaelites who in turn sold him to Portiphar, Pharaoh’s chief guard of the prison. ***Joseph in Portiphar’s house*** Joseph comer the beloved son of Jacob for whom a coat of many colours was made was now a slave in the house of Portiphar, sold by his own blood Brothers. He was no more than an article or two which may be used or abused. There are people who have been hot simply for doing that which is right. The pains would have been assuaged if only they had someone to sympathize with them, but there was known as the conscience of many have been seared with hot iron. There are people who, like Joseph, hot to be Lords over their rightful heritage yet they are toiling away in Portiphar’s house serving as a bond men and women. However, it is instructive to note that throughout his 13 years travel Joseph was not alone Bible records that God was with him. The Lord was with Joseph and he was a successful man and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. The Lord was with Joseph and he was a successful night and he was in a house of his master the gym teacher but the Lord was with Joseph and show him medicine and he gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison Genesis chapter 39 vs2 and 21. The presence of God was so evident in the life of Joseph the spirit is seeming unfortunate situation that he succeeded in everything that was committed to his hand. God will never leave his own wherever there are no matter what happens by in the palace or dungeon. When you pass through the waters I will be with you and through the rivers they shall not overflow you when you walk through The fire you shall not be burnt no Shadow flame scorch you Isaiah 43:2 *****THE ATTENDANT TEMPTATION OF PROMINENCE .***** When we pray that God should make us great then we must be prepared also for challenges that comes with greatness. Joseph had become chief servant in the household of Portiphar. Consequently he had unfettered access to the inner chambers of Portiphar’s household. Joseph’s position as well as his communist became occasions for him to be tempted. His Master's wife took unusual interest in him and made sexual advances at him. Except we have the right perspective and attitude to gains possession wealth and beauty they can become sources of temptation and ensnarement. Based on these past bitter experience, Joseph could have concluded that “it does no good being good”, as his previous good deeds have been rewarded with degradation. Yet, he was resolute in the meaning righteous full stop his Master’s wife offered him her body and some associated perk’s that he refused to take advantage of her. Gen. 39:8 – 9 Although the offer by Mrs Portiphar seemed fantastic Joseph knew it was a poisoned chalice one that was sure to land him in trouble abort his dream and scuttle the plan of God for him eventually. Had Joseph agreed to an amorous affair with such and adultrious woman he may have been favoured father in the house of Portiphar as the woman will certainly have spoken well of him to her husband. But to Joseph it was not personal success that mattered but a good conscience before God. ***How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God. Genesis 39 verse 9b.*** Our contemporary society has been overwhelmed by the success mentality the church inclusive. Some preachers tell us that we must be successful by all means. We want immediate results for every effort. We want others to see that we have made it and in the desperate quest for success we often do not care about our testimony character and integrity. Where is it is not out of place to desire success we must be careful to pursue it in accordance with the will of God knowing and understanding God’s definition of true success. ***Joshua 1 : 8 this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth but you shall meditate in it day and night that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your ways prosperous and then you will have good success.*** It is better to feel here and make heaven to be successful in the eyes of men and burn forever in hell. Joseph was aware of the awful consequences of committing the sin of sexual immorality and he did not dilly-dally With the temptation bait. He rejected each bluntly, left his garment in the woman's hand and fled. In most cases the only Way out of the intention is to flee. The Bible warns us to “ flee youthful lost” Youthful lust will not flee from us we are to run away from it. **JOSEPH IN PRISON** Joseph's garment was spread before his Portiphar to deceive him and ring Joseph. This was the second time that Joseph’s garment will be used by some persons to mislead all this on purpose. His brothers had used it earlier to deceive his father that he had died. Again it was being used to deceive Portiphar that Joseph had assaulted his wife sexually. However, because God words with Joseph he was sent to jail rather than being executed as the Lord demanded. Portiphar may have doubted the veracity of his wife’s claim, having known the character and conduct of Joseph before the incidence. The hand of God was clearly in the night sentence which was handed down to Joseph. Despite being at the lowest ebb of his fortune, flung down by a lie; having lost the confidence of his master and in curing the wrath of a wicked woman, Joseph remained his good self even in prison. The wisdom of the world cause such a man fully who read his budding career by his goodness. Are there in the Bible says but God was with him that is a divine “but” quite different from most others. When god is with a person present will become a paradise. There are many other prisoners after Joseph whose experiences are the same. We have Paul The prisoner not of the emperor but of the lord Jesus Christ. There was John on the island of Patmos John Bunyan in jail at Bedford George Fox in Lancaster Castle and many other believers who have been held behind bars around the world on account of their free and conviction. I am not going to touch the story of how Joseph was delivered out of prison God cool we’ll eat for him to die there; like it was with John the Baptist. It is not the release from prison that is so glorious our best instance but the good conscience in the prison. **My conclusion** Come what May we must demonstrate and oppose the fact that right is right and seeing is seeing what does wrong can never be right and vice versa. Consequences to matter how humiliating must not deter us from good Christian conduct in our country most people are afraid of doing good because of the wrong impression that it doesn't pay but it does pay ultimately. When we are derided at and more for doing good that is the time we shall not relent our father who sees us in the secret shall reward also openly. Any work done in the fear of the Lord is not necessarily meant to prosper outwardly but if such work does not work in us the peaceable fruit of righteousness then it is prosperous in the deepest truth. We only need to have a more Christian idea of what constitutes prosperity. To the secular world Joseph was a failure but to God he was a success and spiritual giant indeed. In the end we shall never ever regret our act of goodness though our career may be read here on Earth by doing good and let us not grow weary while doing good for in due season we shall read Article on Joseph.

Hardwork can't be stolen from those who exhibit it. A hardworking person is never a hypocrite because the person would do what he/she is expected to do when those who are in charge are around or not available. hardworking people are people of high dignitaries in the community. No food for lazy People Laziness is the opposite of hardwork and it crystal clear to everyone that lazy people don't get to show their achievement to the world because it is either gotten from illegal way or devilish way. There is a adage that say that no food for lazy people and I agree with the saying but now the saying doesn't work for the world anymore since many lazy people engage themselves in fraud activities. Short poem on hardwork. I am the key that people use to unlock the door to success. Only fools think I am nothing, but those who act in me eventually have something to show to the world. I am behind the success of many successful men in the world. Since science continue to search why I am in few personalities but the fact about me is that I don't instill myself in people. People won't be successful has to take some steps that is quite different from others. Only if you read overnight and work In stores overnight, that is when you understand what I am. Reading and practice without me is nothing. Conclusion. Absolutely reading and hardwork is the key to success and not only does it open door to success it also make one absolute perfect in every part of one's endeavors.

Gehazi out shines his master in politics and the consequences " But gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, " look, my master has spared naman this Syrian, while not receiving from his hands what he brought; as the Lord lives, I will run after him and take something from him" 2 King's 5:20 It is every man's sincere desire to be great in life or at least to be associated with great ones, there are some who have already attain greatness while others still look for those who will give them direction to achieving greatness. We often pray and wish to meet the right people who would make tremendous impact on our lives and as soon as we discover one, we lost to him for guidance. Any brilliant, young, primary School liver looks forward to attending one of the best secondary schools around; an ambition that knows no end. After completion of secondary school education, he does not choose to go to just any University, but one of repute. If Ed terminally mikes his way abroad, he wants to return home and almnus of Oxford, Cambridge or Harvard. This young promising man will do all he can to achieve the purpose of leaving his own country. He must not fai,l he cannot fail. For him to fail will be inconceivable since all what he needed was a contact with excellence and this he has had. However event has proven that a near association with greatness does not make one great there are hundreds of young men and women who world's pass through the gate of the best university only to come out as total and woeful failure. Gehazi was one of the few who had the opportunity to train at the feet of Elisha, the recipient of a double portion power of Elijah. One great man of God history can never forget was Elijah, a prophet whose ministry was a bulldozer to all the strongholds of idol worshipping. He was known in the King's called as the troubler of the House of Israel just because he was uncompromising. He stopped the rain for 3 years and cause it to rain again. He had many disciples out of which Elijah was the most distinguished. The mantle of leadership fell on him when his master Elijah was carried away to heaven in a whirl wind. When Elijah became the successor of his master some young men dropped to a school or profit for the necessary ministerial training, and Gahezi was among them. How I managed to get there we would not know, but he was there nonetheless. Now let us consider some benefits at the disposal of the gehazi. They include the best ministerial training available in his own time intimacy with Elisah, Opportunity to become another great man of God after Elisah and the possibility of succeeding Elisah. He was with Elisah when he performed most of the recorded miracles of his ministry. He was also an eye witness to his Masters patience self-denial gentleness kindness and zeal for Jehovah. His master was an embodiment of the spiritual qualities. God's tests for men always come unannounced. Unlike our earthly teachers, he will never tell you in advance. Abraham was not told that the command to offer Isaac as a burnt offering to Jehovah was a test of faith and neither was the 32,000 man army of Gideon. Only those who walk daily with God and uprightly too, will pass His test. The test will come to each and everyone of us if actually we are God's children. His test comes in different ways and forms. In the case of Gehazi it was through Naaman, the Syrian army general who had been miraculously healed of leprosy. To show his appreciation offered Elisah some gifts which he rejected. Gehazi was arranged at his Master's refusal to accept Naaman's gifts, so he pursued naaman to receive it all. The gifts were rejected by Elisah, not because you had too much but because it will have been improper to take anything from this healed but all converted Syrian general. Gehazi revealed his true character when he told the lie and got all I wanted from Naaman. Gehazi's intimacy with Elisah only was sad to harding him in evil. He had grown so proud, contemptuous, covetous dishonest unduly secretive and shameless. He cared no more about reputation and good testimony. Gehazi let his father's house a man thirsty for spiritual greatness but returned there a leper. We are to note that he became a grossly corrupt man not in the midst of sinners but in the school of the prophet Elisah, the great man of God. It was from there that he graduated not as a prophet but as an unholy man whose inordinate ambition and greed turned him leprous. He was in contact with the best but turn out to be the worst. Practical applications We all want the best in life and ministry. Would like to attend the best judge John the best Christian group and listen to the best preachers. This is good, we must desire and decide to become good in our inner man. One thing is certain, if I have a contract with God church and fun Christian brethren failed to raise us, it will sink us to the bottomless pit of depravity. His trial was given the law at sinai, it was that law that forms the basis of the Constitution of many nations of the world, yet Israel is still grappling with spiritual instability. Instead of concentrating on the spiritual as promised by God they engage more in politics of the world, no wonder why they expect the Messiah has an earthly King north of the kingdom of God. Judas iscariot was the best of all ages-Jesus Christ, yet he became a son of perdition. Harold and Harold where's were as cruel and at heartless it appears as if they never met John the Baptist in their lifetime. You too may be a member of an excellent Bible living church with faithful minister and fellowship of the most saintly people and still perish like gehazi, you too can be a failure in the best school of God which is the church except you yield to the Spirit of God Romans 8:14.

Politics and religion can we separate it? It is obvious that the two are interwoven and even the sharpest knife or sword can't divide it. When Jesus was birthed and the prophesy concerning him he was seen as a political leader to deliver the Jews from the Roman empire but it became vivid that it was a mistake on their part to hold that assertion as he himself revealed to them that his government is not of this world but the heavenly kingdom In other words some religions hold the believe that the religion should be a controlling force of government conquering territories and subduing nations Can this be said of the purpose why religion was created Nevertheless a philosopher once said religion is opium of the mass that people or masses follow sheepishly without necessary asking vital questions. Many were made believe and hold the sacredness of religion

My case study will give an overview of political influence on religion in Nigeria and perhaps neighbouring West Africa countries
